This decision addresses cross-motions concerning undertakings and refusals arising from examinations for discovery in a property damage action.
The defendant sought to compel answers from the plaintiff regarding the incident, damages, and insurance, while the plaintiff brought a cross-motion seeking the defendant's corporate tax returns.
The court largely granted the defendant's requests for further answers from the plaintiff, including details about her son's involvement as a witness, the use of a home equity line of credit, her current address, and visitors who saw the damage.
However, the court dismissed the defendant's request for detailed time estimates on the plaintiff's use of damaged areas, deeming it disproportionate.
The plaintiff's cross-motion for the defendant's tax returns was dismissed as irrelevant.
Both parties were ordered to bear their own costs due to procedural non-compliance.
